Come to me I make you Beautiful!

Hey everyone! I am now on the floor at my school meaning I can preform services on clients. I would love for those who want to come and see me. I have some coupons for 20% off a service for a new customer. If you want one e-mail me you address and I'll send it to you or I can bring you one at church or at the bookclub movie on friday. Also John has some to give out to those at his school. The phone number of the salon is 636-447-0650. The address is 5065 Highway N., Cottleville, MO 63304.
To make an appointment just call the school and say you'd like to make an appointment with the fabulous lara. I am there Wed-Sat. 10am-5pm. you can ask the school for exact prices on things or I could look them up when I get to school if you let me know what you want. Besides extensions the most expensive thing is a all over highlight or lowlight foil (also called a weave). It is 35$ for one color and then 5$ for each additional color. Which isn't bad at all. I think a hair cut is 12$ or 15$ and it includes a blowdry and style. The school will know for sure. Please come. I will take care of you. I love to do this and I am so excited to get things going. Hope to see you all soon. Also if you have a special occassion I can do updos. I think they are 25$. I am pretty good at updos and I really enjoy doing them too!

Model filled!

Thank you so much to everyone for all of their help. Becca will be my model. I'm so excited. I will for sure keep you all posted when I need more models for haircolor/highlights, perm (or relaxer), facial, acrylic nails, and extensions. I have the best friends ever. I was so scared that I wasn't going to be able to find anyone but I shouldn't have worried at all. I'll send you all cards next week when I get on the floor that you can bring for I think like 20% off a service I provide to you. To let you know what I can do I do: facials, all types of manicure and pedicures (the pedis are nice because we have those nice massageing chairs), weave (or foil highlights and low lights), all over color, touching up color, haircutting, facial waxing, all type of perms including spiral, relaxers, updos, scalp conditioning treatments, and uhm that is all that comes off the top of my head at the moment. Well thanks again guys and I'm so excited Becca!!!

Model Needed!!!!!!

I need a model. On Tuesday October 28th at 10am, I need a model for a haircut, style, and mini manicure. It wont cost you anything and it will be really helpful to me. If you've been wanting some "you" time and you want a new do this is a perfect match. The only thing is it has to be at the specified time. I'm sure an hour later wouldn't be too big of a deal. Don't worry about me being a newbie I'm freakin awesome. Oh yes and there are teachers there to supervise. If you can't voulenteer this time there will be others in the future (perm, color, extensions). Please Please Please someone help me. I don't know anyone besides my friends from church and kind of Johns girls at school. Oh and if it wasn't clear the haircut, style, and mini manicure will all be preformed on the same person so I just need one. Whoever responds first you're in! Just please make sure you can make a solid committment. You are all amazing and I love you so much. Thanks so much!!!!!! I promise I'll take care of you!

Family photos!

SO we got our new family photos taken last friday. I know we just got them in January but we all look so different. Plus I needed proof that we were skinny at one point in time. As a family we've lost about 50lbs! So I'm so proud of us. I think we look great and John is so hot! He is back to the perfect weight I think.

So onto other things. I've been feeling sick latley. Lots of different things have been going on that I don't really want to go into but I got some xrays done and we are moving forward from there. I have another appointment on Thursday. But something totally besides the point was that when we were looking at my xray I found out I have scoliosis! I was in complete shock. I mean they did the whole test in middle school and everything but I guess they missed it. My spine looks like an upside down question mark. I guess that explains the pain. Well I'll update everyone on what we find out about my health.

Onto other things. I'm lovin hair school. I get to work on clients starting oct. 21st! I've already cut a few peoples hair and highlighted and low lighted a friend at schools hair. I love love love doing hair. For all of those who live in missouri you'll have to come and let me work on you at the salon. I'll give you a card for a discount when I get them next week and then you can come get anything done from manicure, pedicure, facial, to eyebrow waxing, to haircolor, haircut, or perm! I can't wait. Well that is all for now!

Hair School

*Me with an updo my friend sami practiced on me. It was really cute.

My no hair project. Read below for an explanation.

Yes that is a bird and it is supposed to look like a nest.

So I've just finished up my 4th week of cosmetology school and all and all I love it! We've done lots of different things. So far I've done manicures, pedicures, facials, makeup application, virgin relaxers, retouch relaxers, virgin tint/lightner, retouch tint lightner, highlights, perms, roller sets, 0 degree haircut, 45 degree haircut, and of course styling, updo's, blowdrying, shampooing. We've learned a lot all the stuff with product we've just used cholesteral to mock our manikins with but we've learned how to put it on correctly. Oh we've also done lash and brow tints, fake lash application, and waxing.

You have to have 1500 hours to graduate and after 4 weeks i have 139.5 hours. At 350 hours i get to work on clients. Right now we've just been doing each other and manikins.

It is safe to say I love love love cosmetology school. When I'm working on something I just am having so much fun. I know this is the right career for me because I have been so happy the past month. John can testify! We've had two tests on our text book and I've got 98% and 100%. i've only missed one question so far.

I just finished up a no hair project. We get a bald manikin to take home and we have to design it using anything but hair. There are some pretty cool ones at school like marge simpson, edward scissor hands, a geshia, and a pharaoh. So mine is themed autumn. I decided to make it some what of a birds nest. It has a bird on top and I put twigs into a spray painted styrofoam tube. I also glued glitter leaves all over it. The photos don't do justice but let me know what you think. Have I mentioned I love hair school?

Cardinals Photos

*Hot Hubby at with the field in the back ground.

*I can't go to a baseball game with out getting cracker jacks it would be sacreligious. It was pretty sacreligious when I opened them up and the toy inside was a red soxs tattoo.

Oh yah and you have to get a hot dog with sauerkraut!!! Yum!! and you had to get nachos and hot chocolate but I opted out of those photos.

Of course we forgot our cameras but luckily our phones take okay photos. So all the photos are from our phones. Best Date ever!!

Cute couple! We are so excited. I wish there were more games this year. i am for sure going to a couple next year. I loved it!

*Busch Staduim is amazing. I love that you can see the St. Louis Arch right from the stadium.

This place is huge but i felt like we had pretty good views of everything. The white ants are cardinals the blue ants are marlins. No the photo doesn't represent how close it was in real life.

Take me out to the Ball Game!

Last night John and I went on a big date to our first ever Professional Baseball game. It was my first professional sport of any kind. It was the Cardinals vrs. Marlins. It was so much fun. We had a neighbor boy tend kaysen and we rode the metrolink down to Busch Stadium. That was fun too. Busch Stadium is amazing. Alougth we were really high up we had such a good view it was crazy. I don't think a seat in that place is a bad one. We were by third base. We got hot dogs, nachos, and cracker jacks. Sorry no peanuts. It even looked as if the cardinals would win. They scored in the bottom of the 7th then the marlins scored in the 9th. So the game went two extra innings and the marlins scored in the 11th. We left right before they scored in the 11th because it looked like they would with a man on 2nd, 3rd, and only 1 out. We had to get home to relieve the babysitter. It was awesome. I loved it. We will have to do it more often next year. When we got home kaysen (and the baby sitter) were alseep. I don't blame him though it was late. This morning Kaysen woke up crying. We asked him why he was crying and he said because "his friend was gone. He couldn't find him anywhere." How cute huh. That makes me happy he had so much fun. We'll for sure use him again. I'll put some photos up of the game and us after school today.
